Cairo

Mayri and Dean Caple

Mayri and Dean Caple of Prospect went to Egypt in October 2010 and took this image from their taxi in Cairo. They write: ¿We have been staying on the Nile, and it is absolutely beautiful. In Cairo, there were lit up boats going up and down ¿ kind of like a floating Christmas show. In Aswan, it was much calmer and quieter. We stayed on Elephantine Island in the middle of the Nile and took a short boat ride provided by our hotel back and forth to town. We also took a felucca (sail boat) around the island at sunset, which was magical gliding past ruins. There is quite a contrast between the Nile, the fertile land around it and the desert.¿
